I don't know how much of eric's post is correct, but I do know that the Royal Netherlands Air Force operates the AH-64D Apache
I was talking to an ex-RNLAF bod a couple of months back and I asked this question. He said that although the KLU owned the aircraft, it was the Army that flew them, same with Chinnok and (When they had it) the Orions. It seems that they have more Idea about how to do jointery than the UKDF.
As for the AAC being part of the RAF...
Is it me? or has anyone else figured out that this would cause a serous increase in the wage bill
AAC - Mainly NCO Aircrew
RAF - All Officer Aircrew
could anyone give a ballpark figure for the wage bill increase?
